Knowing the nature of men and organizations, I think eventually there will be a push to either fish or cut bait. I don't think the either-or option can remain workable forever. But again, that is just my opinion.
Feelings are too strong on both sides of the divide. One or the other is going to move eventually to curtail having your cake and eating it too, I think.
But that's just my predicition, and what do I know?

I agree that folks will have to choose one or the other ... however if this option is open even for a short while ... it will be interesting to see how this double-dipping dynamic will work and if it will have effects in elections.
